Very interesting study I had not seen, and a bummer. That really puts a cramp in my advocation of our CARP+pf load balancers/firewalls/gateways. Than again, what's a PIX box capable of?
I'd rather tweak a whitebox than pay through the nose for a PIX.
I also had to switch to OpenBSD as there was a fatal crash with the bridge device in FreeBSD when used with my paticular OpenVPN/CARP/pf combination. AFAIK pf/forwarding only takes place on one core and wouldn't take advantage of the other 3 cores, correct?
Correct. There has been some great speed and efficiency improvements in pf and other networking parts of OpenBSD; though from anecdotal evidence, 10GbE is not ready for 'primetime' (for certain definitions of 'primetime'). actually I'll just skip making an ass out of myself and hope henning@ chimes in, since I believe he reads NANOG as well. aaron.glenn
